Re: Robert Goodwin – FAIA Nomination

Dear Mr. Castellana,

As a colleague and mentor of Robert Goodwin for the past 5 years, I enthusiastically support his nomination to be elevated to Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

In my role as director of Perkins+Will’s Design Leadership Council, I have worked closely with Rob to develop and maintain design excellence in the firm. He has demonstrated an exceptional level of creativity and innovation in his work, and his commitment to fostering design culture has been invaluable. His work as the design director of the New York office for the last 10 years has had a significant influence not only on the projects carried out in that office, but also on the global body of work that the firm has produced, and he has emerged as one of a new generation of design leaders moving the firm in original and innovative directions.

Rob’s approach to design, developed during his time at Kohn Pedersen Fox and reaching maturity at Perkins + Will, is about fundamentally about authenticity – he works to create a unique design expression for each project that conveys the essential characteristics of context, environment and program, so that a true quality of place is defined. He brings this approach to a wide range of significant work both here in the US and abroad, with projects in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. His clients include major universities such as Cornell, Stanford, Michigan, Wisconsin, SUNY and CUNY, and academic medical centers such as Einstein Health Network, University of Maryland Medical System and the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford.

Rob’s design work has been recognized through local, national and international publications, exhibits and awards. Significantly he won the MIPIM Future Projects award for ‘Best Tall Building’ two years in a row, had his work featured in the 2010 World Architecture Festival exhibit ‘Height’, and co-designed work for the 2012 ‘Buildings = Energy’ exhibit at the AIA Center for Architecture in New York. He has spoken about his work at Stanford, MIT and SCUP, and most recently his design for a new Business School at SUNY Albany was featured in the March 2014 issue of Architectural Review. Rob has taught at Cornell and RISD, and has been a visiting studio critic at numerous architectural schools.

With these and other achievements throughout his career, Rob Goodwin has had a significant and meaningful impact on the culture of design. I encourage your support for his nomination to become a Fellow of the Institute.

Sincerely,

Edward A Feiner, FAIA

1 SUMMARY

In over 25 years of practice, Rob Goodwin has created

a compelling body of work, spanning a broad range

of types and scales, unified by the desire to create a

unique expression for each project. Driven by a critical

investigation of program, site, context and environment,

he identifies the essential underlying forces that shape

a genuine architecture of place, and transforms

those forces into meaningful architecture through

inventive design strategies, integrated sustainability and

innovative technologies.

Rob’s design work at both Kohn Pedersen Fox

and Perkins+Will has focused on program-driven

architecture, encompassing educational, research,

healthcare and commercial projects. He helped build

a new institutional practice at KPF, leading the design

of the firm’s first research lab at the University of

Wisconsin / Madison, the first healthcare project at

the University Of Maryland Medical System, and the

first biotech project with Amgen in Puerto Rico. At the same time he held a senior design role on

a number of complex mixed-use commercial projects in both the US and abroad, pioneering KPF’s

use of computer technology to model complex geometries in building form. Among the themes

explored by each of these works were the use of shared open space as an expression of community,

and prefabricated architectural systems as an expression of institutional identity.

As the Design Director for the New York office of Perkins+Will, Rob expanded this approach to

explore the idea of place, moving beyond conventional solutions to pursue an authentic design

expression rooted in a deep understanding of the influences of program, context, climate and

culture. With ever-increasing globalization, this approach seeks a truly sustainable architecture

that not only responds to environmental factors but also captures the essential qualities of place

to create a true and lasting architectural identity. Rob has consistently fostered this approach

within the Perkins+Will design culture, applying it to a

wide range of award-winning projects throughout the

U.S., Middle East and Asia. His recently completed

School of Business at the State University of New York

at Albany captures the architectural ‘DNA’ of the

existing Edward Durell Stone campus while reinventing

it for a 21st century pedagogy; the Lucile Packard

Children’s Hospital under construction at Stanford

University Medical Center merges architecture and

landscape to create one of the most ecologically

responsive healthcare facilities in the country; and

the 64-story SailTower beginning construction in

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia features a dramatic array of 2200

innovative, multi-functional ‘architectural sail’ elements

inspired by its location on the Red Sea. Each of these

projects is a product of this search for authenticity,

finding a distinctive architectural expression through

programmatic, contextual and environmental response.

Rob’s approach has been widely recognized, with over 20 local, national and international design

awards and more than 30 publications including Architectural Record, Architecture, and the

New York Times: most recently the SUNY Albany business school was featured the Architectural

Review in an article titled ‘Campus Incubator’. He has spoken about his work at the AIA, the

Architectural League, Stanford, Cornell, and MIT, and organized a panel titled ‘The Language of

Sustainability’ as part of the 2012 AIANY exhibit Buildings = Energy, for which he co-designed

a prototypical net-zero NYC office building. As a member of the steering group of Perkins+Will’s

Design Leadership Council, he has helped foster design quality across the firm’s 26 offices

through mentorship, peer review, internal design competitions and program development.

Through all of these activities and a consistent involvement in academic juries, he has been a

determined advocate for an authentic architecture of place.

Robert Goodwin consistently creates an inventive, resourceful and transformative

architecture. His work reflects a deep understanding of content, climate, context and culture to convey an authentic sense of place

and meaningful architectural identity.

Completed 2013 · Albany, New York 96,000 sq ft / 8,732 sq m · LEED NC Gold

Sited at the main entry to the monumental ‘Podium’ structure designed in 1968 by Edward Durrell Stone, the School of Business explores the idea of ‘engagement’, through site, program and space, to explore the meaning of commerce. The multi-functional building creates a prominent new identity for the business program and an inviting gateway to the overall campus.

Inspired by the numerous courtyards in the Podium, the strong rectilinear building form is carved away to create a terraced atrium that activates the entry sequence to the campus, enhances daylight in a cold, cloudy climate, and defines a series of spatially-connected gathering spaces on different levels that encourage collaborative engagement, entrepreneurial outreach and informal learning. On the exterior, a triple-glazed, low-iron glass wall encloses the atrium to optimize transparency while limiting heat loss, and a simple ribbon window system is overlaid by a pattern of angled, self-cleaning precast fins that effectively reorient the building to the south, blocking low angle glare and generating a delicate texture on the façade that echoes the lightness and verticality of the Podium.

Recently featured in The Architectural Review, The design of the School of Business extracts the ‘DNA’ from the Podium’s heroic modernism and transforms it into a powerful 21st Century expression of place, pedagogy and environmental response.

Completed 2012 · Amherst, New York 130,000 sq ft / 12,077 sq m · LEED NC Gold

The design of Davis Hall addresses the desire for a distinctive new identity for the school while unifying the existing 1970’s Marcel Breuer-designed engineering complex. Combining the de-partments of electrical engineering and computer science, the building seeks to create a ‘hybrid’ collaborative research and learning environment among previously unrelated disciplines.

The form of the building projects dramatically to announce a new presence at the north edge of the campus, while to the south a self-shading glass atrium cants forward towards a new quad-rangle shared by the existing buildings to form a new social hub for the school. The exterior language of striated copper-colored forms evokes the texture of a magnetic coil, while faceted precast concrete surfaces celebrate the rich modernist texture of the Breuer complex and help to unify the architectural identity of the complex. Internally, a multi-story gallery leading to the center of the campus creates an industrially-finished, interactive environment with informal study/gathering areas and the display of ongoing research such as a ‘Smart Room” featuring facial/voice recognition technologies.

Davis Hall is a provocative model for sustainable, innovative research and educational design that mediates and transforms its modernist context while creating an engaging new identity for both the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and for the Amherst Campus as a whole.

New Downtown Consolidated Campus

Louis S. D’Antonio Dean of Administration, Gateway Community College


Completed 2012 · New Haven, CT 367,000 sq ft / 34,095 sq m · LEED NC Gold

The project consolidates an entire new community college campus serving 11,000 students in the emerging Ninth Square district of downtown New Haven, straddling two full city blocks along Church Street, which culminates at the Green and forms one of the most prominent entry routes into New Haven.

The building is organized along a multi-story, terraced, linear atrium that bridges over George Street, providing access to classrooms, bringing daylight to the center of the building, creating gathering space for students, and leading up to a landscaped roof terrace with views over the city. Lining one side of the atrium is the ‘Learning Wall’, a composition of interior windows, informational displays, programmable LED light fixtures, and subtly inscribed quotations from a variety of inspirational figures. On the exterior, GCC is designed to engage the city as much as possible: the street level is occupied by ‘public’ elements of the program – library, cafeteria, bookstore, culinary arts program, art exhibition space, and public health center – which are put on display through ‘storefront’ windows and branded graphics.

GCC has established a strong connections, both physical and cultural, within the city. Just short of LEED Platinum, it shows how thoughtful architecture can transform a neglected part of the city and create a new campus environment that is truly sustainable in environmental, social and economic terms.

Lin Jian Hua Planning and Department Manager, Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University


Completed 2010 · Suzhou, China 450,000 sq ft / 41,806 sq m · Pursuing LEED Gold

Inspired by the famous water gardens nearby in Suzhou, the Integrated Science Campus proposes a new academic paradigm in which building and landscape interact to form an innovative, sustainable and human-scaled environment designed to encourage scientific discovery and active learning.

Instead of the traditional static quadrangle, the design adopts a dynamic strategy of horizontal and vertical layering to create a series of interwoven spaces that optimize movement, interaction and environmental response. The design locates high-traffic lecture halls at grade, where the ground plane rises to enclose them in a sculptural landscape of water pools, green walls, garden roofs, and continuous walking paths. Formed around this landscape array are a series of sinuous metal armatures oriented east-west to optimize solar orientation; flexible classroom, laboratory and office spaces, clad in glass, ceramic tile and shaded on the south, are inserted into the armatures to express the integration of technology and nature.

The design employs environmental strategies that optimize daylighting, water re-use and energy consumption. By integrating architectural and environmental systems in new ways, the project aspires to an authentic expression of both the collaborative vision of the university and the unique physical and cultural landscape of Suzhou.

Richard Montalbano Vice President and Project Executive, Einstein Medical Center Montgomery


Completed 2012 · East Norriton, Pennsylvania 360,000 sq ft / 33,445 sq m · LEED HC Silver

On a semi-rural site facing a 690-acre farm park, this 192-bed tertiary care hospital establishes a new regional presence for a large urban healthcare network based in Philadelphia. The design synthesizes two primary influences: the beauty of the surrounding landscape and the hospital’s goal to provide advanced medical care.

Above an efficient two-story diagnostic / interventional platform set into the sloping site, two patient bed-wings frame a multi-level glazed atrium that orients patients, visitors and staff to the surrounding landscape. To maximize views both into and out of the building while avoiding excessive solar gain, the south-facing atrium employs a high-performance glass wall that angles forward to effectively ‘self-shade’, thus avoiding the need for external devices or tinting. The space becomes a vast ‘picture window’ to the landscape during the day, and a distinctive landmark for the hospital in the evening. ‘Mid-board’ patient room configurations optimize views and daylighting, and the careful selection of warm, non-toxic materials and finishes address the client’s goal to provide truly a healthy and compassionate healthcare environment.

The design resolves apparently conflicting demands – to create an uncompromisingly modern expression of advanced medical care while simultaneously integrating the surrounding natural landscape into the patient, visitor and staff experience. With a variety of additional sustainable features, the building offers an innovative model for healthcare design.

Opening 2017 · Palo Alto, California 521,000 sq ft / 48,402 sq m · Pursuing LEED BD+C Gold

The client requested an ‘unselfconscious’ architecture that would reflect the patient-centric values established in the existing pediatric facility while creating an efficient, sustainable, state-of-the-art hospital. The design solution addresses this by celebrating a child’s experience of nature as an integral part of the healing process.

The design configures a series of ‘linked gardens’ on the site, each with a different sense of identity and privacy, organized around a linear technology spine and surrounded by patient bed wings. A rigorous planning module optimizes efficiency while undulating landscape and lobby walls create a natural and whimsical counterpoint, culminating in sculptural, spiral chapel on the first floor. The façade incorporates small planters outside each patient window to create a direct, personal connection to nature within a high-tech clinical environment. A pattern of orientation-specific exterior solar shading devices are used to support displacement ventilation systems and reduce the institutional scale and character of the building. An evocative exterior palette of stone, terracotta louvers and translucent / fritted glass link the building to the larger Stanford campus.

The building, once completed, will be one of the most environmentally and ecologically sensitive healthcare facilities in the country; through a deliberate merging of native landscaping with responsive architecture, the design expresses an immediate, meaningful relationship between human health and the natural environment.

Opening 2016 · Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 630,000 sq ft / 58,553 sq m

The site, along the Corniche in Jeddah, marks the transition between the desert landscape and the Red Sea. With a mixture of luxury hotel functions, serviced apartments and condominiums, the client requested that the tower be as tall as permitted and address functional, aesthetic, and climatic issues in an Islamic context.

The tower assumes a simple rectangular form, oriented along the east/west axis to optimize solar exposure, shade the entrance court to the north and maximize views to the water. Program elements become more private as they rise, with balcony depths increasing with height to create ‘outdoor rooms’ at the upper resi-dential levels. Inspired by traditional dhows of the region, the design explores the concept of the ‘architec-tural sail’ as a multifunctional architectonic element made of EFTE panels. These sails gradually rotate as they rise, giving privacy between adjacent rooms, orienting views to the water, limiting the negative effects of sun and wind, and with LED fixtures integrated within each panel, creating a dynamic, softly glowing geometric array of light across the entire surface of the building.

By responding to the essential influences of program, site, climate and culture, the architecture creates a memorable expression of texture, pattern and light. Based on innovative tectonics rather than broad formal gesture, it moves beyond superficial motifs to convey an authentic sense of place and meaningful identity.
